8 In that case, your usb-connection (or anything) will probably
9 be a borderline case to, since that is also a network...
10 But I guess the thing fobidden is anything makeing the ms-win box
11 recognize and use somthing to communicate outwards.

18 Don't know much about the windows side, but I found this:

20 https://www.winpcap.org/
21 https://hacked10bits.blogspot.com/2011/12/sending-raw-ethernet-frames-in-6-easy.html
22 seems to be some programming involved.

55 About the original question. Here what a few thing I dig up.

61 It is usually simple to setup and use a serial null-modem cable and
62 run kermit or somthing on the MS-Win side and add a getty (I've used
63 mgetty) handling the serial port on the linux side.
